Just make sure you have a big ol bag of baking soda, a box of Oxyclean, an airtight canister and a hefty washing machine. Chas was a poop machine; about 8-10 diapers a day in the beginning? at least it seemed that much. The laundry machine was ALWAYS running! Do you have the wool covers? Make sure you have the gusseted kind for all those blow-outs ;) I already know you have the husband who will help you out! (and frankly, I'm a wee jealous! Mine was a diapering DUD, between us!) :) Cloth, right? Just make sure you have a big ol bag of baking soda, a box of Oxyclean, an airtight canister and a hefty washing machine.

In 7 weeks he'll be able to give his little brother a real kiss too.. I' m looking forward to see his reaction, wondering... but I'm sure it'll turn out fine and yes, I'm wondering all over again too.. diapers, breastfeeding, fruit, veggies.. oh my.. when, where, how much... Good luck.. it was nice to read I'm not alone wondering all over again :) I love the way my 5 year old son comes running and kisses my belly at the most unexpected moments… In 7 weeks he’ll be able to give his little brother a real kiss too..

I don't think so, I will not be bale to split this love in two.... " These were the thoughts in my head. And when that second one comes along..it is like a new exact replica of that love is injected, as by a miracle, inside you..and it is magic! “Could I love this second boy as much as I love the first one?
